Despite the protection, I've started feeling nauseous after my last relationship, but my period hasn't been delayed yet. I think it's too early for a test, but I can't get it out of my mind. Do you think I should wait, or should I get a blood test done right away?
If nausea persists, a blood test is the quickest and most accurate method to get results. The HCG hormone becomes apparent in the blood as early as 6-8 days after conception. You can easily get it done in a specialized laboratory, and it doesn't take long.
Sweetheart, first calm down. Delayed menstruation and nausea can be caused by other things too. But to put your mind at ease, go to a hospital; a blood test will reveal everything.
Something similar happened to me too; even though I was cautious, I had my suspicions. I got a blood test to find out, and it turned out not to be pregnancy, but there was an infection. Go see a doctor directly so we can find out what it is.
Now you're panicking even before your period is late. It could be just psychological nausea; if you're stressing out this much, also check whether you’re using protection correctly. Don’t put yourself in this situation.
Actually, my nausea is more pronounced in the mornings, and that's been bothering me. I decided to get a blood test done now, but as someone who's waiting, I wanted to hear more about your experiences.
This shouldn't have been the case. You say you're protected, but are we married? If so, you should go to the doctor with your spouse and let the family elders know about the situation. It's not something to be ashamed of, but everyone should be aware.
Nausea alone is not a sufficient symptom, but it should still be checked. A blood test measuring beta-HCG hormone will provide a definitive result; if it is above 10 mIU/mL, pregnancy is considered. You can quickly get results when you consult a doctor.
Actually, this situation happens quite often; nausea can also be triggered by stress. Even in pregnancy, such clear symptoms may not be noticeable this early. But the best way to dispel doubt is, of course, a test.
